13 Well, using your suggestion, I have it x/kde working again, but I get this
14 error when I run glxinfo:
15
16 libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
17 libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
18
19 Here's what I have installed:
20 x11-drivers/ati-drivers
21 Installed: 8.32.5
22
23 x11-libs/libdrm
24 Installed: 2.3.0
25
26 x11-base/x11-drm
27 Installed: 20060608
28
29 x11-base/xorg-server
30 Installed: 1.1.1-r3
31
32 I figured the latest software might help. Also this page:
33
34 http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page
35
36 Seemed to do the trick, and a link off of that page
37 does suggest the ati-1900xt card is supported with
38 many bug fixes in 8.32.5.
39
40 Any ideas what I can do about the libgl error?
